| Kavain Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | anticonvulsant, analgesic, anxiolytic, suppreses excitatory postsynaptic potential | | Uses | rac-Kavain is the main kavalactone found in the roots of the kava plant. Kavain is known to exhibit anticonvulsive properties by attenuating vascular smooth muscle contraction through interactions with voltage-dependent sodium and calcium channels. rac-Kavain was shown in recent research to exhibit protective properties on anaerobic glycolysis, ATP content and intracellular calcium and sodium of anoxic brain vesicles. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 41, p. 4070, 1976 DOI: 10.1021/jo00888a004 |
